iavf: remove INITIAL_MAC_SET to allow gARP to work properly
IAVF_FLAG_INITIAL_MAC_SET prevents waiting on iavf_is_mac_set_handled() the first time the MAC is set. This breaks gratuitous ARP because the MAC address has not been updated yet when the gARP packet is sent out. Current behaviour: $ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens4f0/device/sriov_numvfs iavf 0000:88:02.0: MAC address: ee:04:19:14:ec:ea $ ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev ens4f0v0 $ ip link set dev ens4f0v0 up $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ens4f0v0/arp_notify $ ip link set ens4f0v0 addr 00:11:22:33:44:55 07:23:41.676611 ee:04:19:14:ec:ea > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.168.1.1 tell 192.168.1.1, length 28 With IAVF_FLAG_INITIAL_MAC_SET removed: $ echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens4f0/device/sriov_numvfs iavf 0000:88:02.0: MAC address: 3e:8a:16:a2:37:6d $ ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev ens4f0v0 $ ip link set dev ens4f0v0 up $ echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ens4f0v0/arp_notify $ ip link set ens4f0v0 addr 00:11:22:33:44:55 07:28:01.836608 00:11:22:33:44:55 > ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, ethertype ARP (0x0806), length 42: Request who-has 192.168.1.1 tell 192.168.1.1, length 28 Fixes: 35a2443d ("iavf: Add waiting for response from PF in set mac") Signed-off-by: Stefan Assmann <sassmann@kpanic.de> Tested-by: Konrad Jankowski <konrad0.jankowski@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Nguyen <anthony.l.nguyen@intel.com>
